Pause: A Month of Prayer in Five Minutes a DayНамуна
Proclaim
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Phil. 4:6)
Prompt
God is always calling us to go deeper with Him - deeper in prayer, deeper in dependence, deeper in faith, generosity, and boldness.
In Luke 5:4-11, Jesus asks us to launch out into the deep! Because spiritual leadership will never thrive in the shallows. A life going deeper with Jesus requires courage, vulnerability, confession, repentance, and dedication to living in a community.
When you submit to God’s call and vow to go deeper, there can be some anxiety! Especially if you look at it with earthly eyes. But when you take it to your knees in prayer, you can look beyond the Big and see what God sees.
The reward is worth it.
Prod
Jesus has written a deep launch on your heart. What is it? What steps do you need to take to make it a reality?
Praise

Pray
Jesus, give me the courage to launch out into the deep today because I know that wherever I go, you go with me. There is nothing that compares to your love, there is nothing that compares to your protection and nothing that compares to your friendship. Please give me the courage to take my faith deeper with you today. Amen.

About this Plan
Depression. Loneliness. Comparison. Greed. Addiction. People-pleasing. These are tools of the enemy to steal your calling and rob your joy. In this reading plan, drawn from his book, Lance Lang invites you to neutralize those tools by pausing each day, studying scripture, reading encouragement, taking action, and refocusing your attention on Jesus. Press forward into what God has for you. Press pause.
